Creative Work ontology

This is the model we use to express the minimum metadata necessary to express a piece of creative content in the platform.

Introduction

This ontology defines terms that describe creative works produced by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ and their associated metadata. This ontology powered reading & writing creative works in the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s triplestore, associating tags with them (about) and ascribing them more specific types (BlogPost, NewsItem, Programme) and audiences (audience).
